ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Sales for the quarter ended March 30, 1997 were $5,457,000 compared with
$5,859,000 for the same period in 1996, a decrease of 7%. Bookings for the three
months ended March 30, 1997 were $5,888,000 versus $6,606,000 for the same
period in 1996, a decrease of 11%. The decline in revenues is attributable to
the decline in bookings, primarily in the U.S. and Asia. This was a result of a
slowdown in the overall economy and the market for the Company's products. The
Company does not anticipate that the percentage change in net revenues and
bookings for the three months ended March 30, 1997 is necessarily indicative of
the trend for the entire fiscal year. Backlog at March 30, 1997 was $2,415,000
versus $1,984,000 at December 31, 1996, and $3,594,000 at March 30, 1996.
Gross margin for the three months ended March 30, 1997 decreased to 37% from
40% for the same period in 1996. The decrease is a result of initial costs
associated with the SELECTSeries -TM- systems. The labor and material on the
early shipments were greater than the UNITHERM-Registered Trademark- systems. It
is not expected that these costs will remain at that level on a going forward
basis.
Operating expenses for the three months ended March 30, 1997 were $1,893,000
versus $1,831,000 for the same period in 1996, an increase of 3%. Operating
expenses as a percentage of sales for such periods were 35% and 31%. The
increase in actual spending is the result of the increased staffing levels and
marketing expenses. The first quarter of 1997 includes approximately $135,000 of
severance pay for a former executive of the Company.
For the first quarter of 1997, selling, general and administrative expenses
as a percentage of sales were 28% versus 25% in 1996. The increase in actual
spending is a result of the increased sales volume which resulted in higher
commission and marketing expenses. Research and development expenses as a
percentage of sales for such periods were 6% in 1997 versus 6% in 1996.
Costs relating to the Company's patent infringement lawsuit were $39,000 for
the three months ended March 30, 1997, as compared to $20,000 for the comparable
1996 period.
The Company recorded tax expense of $53,000 for the quarter ended March 30,
1997, as compared to $202,000 for the comparable quarter of 1996. This was a
result of the lower pre-tax income. The effective tax rate for both periods was
40%
Net income for the first quarter of 1997 was $79,000, compared to $303,000
for the comparable period of 1996. For the first quarter of 1997, net income was
$0.01 per primary share, and $0.01 per fully diluted share. For the comparable
1996 period, net income was $0.03 per primary share, and $0.03 per fully diluted
share.
8
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company continues to monitor its operations spending levels very closely
with the goal of cash conservation. During the quarter ended March 30, 1997,
cash decreased $202,000 to $1,923,000. This decrease was caused by an increase
in the Company's inventory and accounts receivable levels.
The Company has reviewed its capital spending budget for the remainder of
1997 and expects to finance its capital equipment acquisition through lease
financing. The Company believes that its current cash balances and cash from
operations will be adequate to meet the Company's working capital requirements
for the balance of the year.
